Justin Bieber has shared a poignant tribute to Liam Payne, who tragically passed away at the age of 31.
The heartfelt video, posted five days after Liam’s sudden death, features floral tributes and messages from fans, with Bieber captioning it, “Rest easy, Liam,” accompanied by a broken heart emoji.
Payne’s life ended in a devastating fall from the third floor of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 16.
He died instantly from multiple injuries, which included severe internal and external hemorrhaging.

In the emotional video, a voiceover reassured fans that it’s okay to grieve for someone they admired, even if they never met them.
“You are allowed to cry, to break, to feel like a part of you is gone,” the voiceover stated.
Despite a history of rivalry between the two stars, which started when Payne made a remark that seemed to slight Bieber, the pair eventually found common ground.
Liam had previously shared how they connected over shared experiences and challenges in the music industry, emphasizing their similarities rather than their differences.
In a 2022 podcast appearance, Payne recounted how the feud began and how he had reached out to Bieber to mend their relationship.
He humorously noted, “The only thing between me and him is I haven’t been arrested,” highlighting the playful nature of their rivalry.
